As a leading girls’ school in Australia, St Catherine’s is committed to nurturing and empowering independent and globally responsive young women, enabling them to approach all their endeavours with confidence, wisdom and integrity. – St Catherine’s School Charter

As a School community, we help students find their sense of purpose in the world through an environment that integrates critical awareness, a social conscience and quality relationships. We inspire our students to not only own their learning but also understand and appreciate their own unique capacities and the world around them.

Boarding at St Catherine’s School provides our girls with a safe and comfortable living environment. They have the opportunity to make friends with girls from across Australia and around the world. Boarders are provided the freedom to socialise with friends and to explore Melbourne on organised weekend activities, as well as the opportunity to develop positive study habits and importantly, to have a lot of fun!

St Catherine’s prides itself on being a cohesive and unique School community. Current St Catherine’s families, along with our alumnae, future students, and current and past parents and staff, are all active, generous, enthusiastic and supportive members of the St Catherine’s School community.

Tonight is the Night!

There has certainly been much excitement and anticipation in the lead up to tonight’s Christmas Fair in my household. My youngest children have eagerly been counting down the days…I hope all your children are looking forward to tonight’s festivities as much as mine!

With much trepidation we have been watching the forecast in hopes of perfect Friday night weather, it has swung from a high of 30 (the forecast on Sunday night!!!) to a low of 23 (the forecast Tuesday night) – only in Melbourne I hear you all say!!

So it’s with much excitement and fingers crossed for blue skies, the PFA presents tonight’s Christmas Fair. We have put much thought into trying to cater for all our St Catherine’s community, both children and their parents.

We are excited to be providing the following attractions, gourmet food, entertainment and market stalls:
